Nov. Informatics Meetings
November meeting.docx

ICT4D (Information and Communication Technology for Development) is a relatively new and highly dynamic field of development cooperation. ICT4D is not just about giving people ICT skills, but helping poor and marginalized communities across the world to use the potential of ICT to improve the quality of their lives. Given the rapid development, working within the field of ICT4D is an ongoing learning process and many actors are therefore required to contribute their bit of knowledge and experience. ICT4D is by nature multi-disciplinary and potentially touches upon a vast array of topics:
  • Infrastructure: providing suitable computer hardware, operating systems, software, and connectivity to the internet
  • Capacity building and training in ICT: installing, maintaining, developing hardware and software and digital literacy
  • Digital content and services such as e-learning, e-health, e-government
  • Policy and Regulation of the ICT Sector and digital rights
  • Facilitating awareness and participation on social and ethical issues
